Relating to the duration of services provided under Medicaid to women following a pregnancy.

HB 1811 would extend Medicaid coverage for postpartum women in Texas from six months to 24 months after the end of pregnancy. The bill requires coverage to begin on the last day of pregnancy and continue for 24 months, ending on the last day of the month in which the period concludes. This directly affects women eligible for Medicaid during pregnancy, ensuring they maintain health coverage for up to two years following childbirth or an involuntary miscarriage. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, and may require federal approval for implementation.
